PROCESS

How Long-Distance Trips Are Coordinated

1) Share Pickup & Destination

Call dispatch with your pickup location, destination city, preferred time, passenger count, and luggage/items.

2) Availability Check

Dispatch checks driver availability for the distance, timing, and trip requirements. Long-distance availability varies day to day.

3) Quote & Confirmation

Dispatch provides an upfront quote based on the trip details. For long-distance trips, prepayment is commonly required to confirm the ride.

4) Trip Completion

The driver confirms key details at pickup and completes the trip door-to-door. If trip details change, pricing may change.

PAYMENT

Prepayment & Payment Options

For long-distance trips, prepayment is commonly required to confirm the ride and protect driver time. Dispatch will confirm payment expectations before dispatching a vehicle.

Credit & debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
Mobile payments (Zelle, Venmo, Cash App)
Tap-to-pay/contactless (where available)
Invoice billing for approved corporate / verified clients

Important: If you are not comfortable with prepayment for a long-distance request, taxi service may not be the right fit for that situation. For lower-cost alternatives, rideshare or public transportation may be more suitable.
